A September to Remember

The last five weeks have been absolutely amazing. You know when confirmation comes, and you are sure that you are in God’s will? Well that is what the last five weeks have been like. Since our first service we have seen the consistent and loving Hand of God in our lives and our ministry. Each week He is faithful to open hearts and feed them with His Word.

The Foundations class has grown from 3 to 6 attendees, as of this week. People are excited about learning the basics…and are eager to start building a firm foundation.
The following pictures are from our first class:


We have been here in Costa Rica for 9 months now, as of Sept 28th. Denise finally has temporary residency, with all paperwork submitted to Immigration, and in process. That has been a real test of patience and self-control. Thank you Holy Spirit for both of those gifts! Bureaucracies are the same everywhere, and Costa Rica is no different.

It has rained here consistently for the past 5 days…and the news today said that the rainfall in October should double what has already fallen up to this point. Normally during the rainy season we see the sun in the morning, and then about noon and beyond you see the clouds start rolling in. Then the rain comes, and lasts until the next morning. However, October is supposed to be the worst month of the rainy season. The news also showed all of the landslides and flooding going on around the country. People are afraid to evacuate because if they leave their homes and nothing major happens, they will return to nothing because everything will have been stolen. Please keep these in your prayers as well.

Thank you for all your prayers, support, and encouraging messages and posted comments. You are a blessing to us, and the ministry the Lord has entrusted to us here. Your continued prayers would be appreciated.

"Those who trust in the LORD are like Mount Zion, which cannot be moved, but abides forever."
Psalm 125:1

  1. We continue to keep this work in our prayers! God is blessing your faithfulness, and that is so delightful to see. We must remember in the 'dry' times that there have been fruitful seasons, and recognize that God's powerful hand is moving in HIS church all the time!
